This all started off as a demo I was making for the band that Wakegirlsarah and I have, and it sort of got out of control on me and became what you hear here. It's still a demo of coarse, but far away from the original thought of one track each of guitar/bass/drum/vocal.

Some of you out there might recognise this from another song I posted quite a while back which was much more mellow, called Jaded. I decided to give it some edge you can say...

This excellent you two !!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the energy on this- the fx weave in and out just right. I wish the backs were up in the mix just a tad- but I think this is great overall! There's a Bush flav in WakeGirl's voice (and I mean this as a compliment rather than a comparison) Very gooodz!!!!

This is great, playing, singing, production, arrangement - all top notch

Sarah - you never sounded better

Very, very impressed

This deserves to go to #1

I hope it does

Thanks for emailing me to let me know about this Matt

Another truly awesome track to listen to in my car. I love eveything about this fun track.
Wakegirl is like Diana Ross to me. Sounds weird huh? But I really do get the early Diana vibe from her. Not the dive pain in the a-- Diana or modern times, but the one who utilized her voice perfectly on those gems back in the day. Just like how Sarah uses her voice.

Matt- I LOVE this.

One comment though...

Here it comes...

More bass!

Jules... LOL! More Bass... there's a story... I transfered my GarageBand files to another drive and lost the original song file... so I had to use two AIF Backing Pre Mixes and add everything to to it. So, that's why there isn't more bass. I couldn't do a carbon copy if my life dependant on it.

Thanks for loving the song though! You rawk!

Definitely remember this one. I even think I sent you a track to try out with it. I must say this version rocks. Great vocals. Nice guitars. This is a great mix as well, especially if just using the garage. Love the outro.

The new GarageBand4 is stunning to work with! I highly recommend getting iLife just for this app alone (though iPhoto is equally wonderful!). Being a stay at home father for a few more months makes it impossible for me to buy Logic Studio 8 at this time, so it's freaking awesome that This new version of GB delivers the way it does.

Thanks 4arms for the great comment!

Cheers!

oops! I had a grammar problem that needed correcting!

love the crashing guitar intro...that's the way all songs should start! heh

Wakegirl has such a unique style...I don't hear anybody else doing it her way and that's cool. Goes hand-in-hand with the Granz guitar riffage.

I agree with JD, this is a jamming down the boulevard tune in the car.

Yeah I added Tamborine to the first part and an egg shaker on the second half of the song. I wanted something to cover up my laziness on finding drum fills and whatnot. I hear a bit of Dianna too. Thanks for the comment!

What a power duo for iCompositions. This is ****ing awesome. An instant favorite. Granzy, great job with guitar as usual, and you did a perfect job of blending the vocals together. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you two. P.S. DOWN WITH LOOOPS, DEATH TO LOOPERS! This comment has been sponsored by J.N.

ok, I'm not listening with head phones, but I have a pretty decent sound system I think. I like it. I don't have eq's to watch while it plays though. That is too distracting for me. I would just watch and watch and watch and watch..... you get the idea..ooo pretty jumpy colors!

Nice job.

I hestitated on commenting so I can soak up the excellencity of this and provide appropriate feedback. And whle I napped, 228 people listened! No more pretending to be critic. I'm a fan. This is a deceptive tune, loose and raw sounding yet meticulous in its production, from teh panning to the harmonies. This one will be downloaded and listened to in heavy iRotation... thanks!

See, Matt & Sarah... everyone has been waiting for your next song... and the return of the King and Queen of iComp!

Oh, and I immediately noticed the extra care and attention your mix is getting. Fantasmic!
